1. Goal - Agree on a specific, measurable goal for the session and understand the client's desired outcome.
2. Reality - Understand the client's current situation through listening, empathy and questioning to assess what is happening now.
3. Options - Brainstorm potential options for moving forward, including suggestions from the coach, and have the client choose their preferred option.
4. Wrap Up - Create an action plan with defined steps, timelines and support needed to work towards the goal, and agree on follow up.
